MLB: Doug Mientkiewicz will be back with the Dodgers as an instructor. I have no real thoughts on this, because I don’t know anything about his coaching ability, and I don’t think anybody else does either. — MSTI: Mike Petriello parsed through Ned Colletti‘s comments from an interview with Jim Bowden on ESPN. Solid analysis, but the best part by far is the Colletti truth-o-meter. Beyond The Box Score: Among their 2011 NL West All-Stars are Jamey Carroll at 2B, Matt Kemp in CF, and Clayton Kershaw as the staff’s #1. — MLB Trade Rumors: Ben Nicholson-Smith talks to Logan White.

Who Should the Dodgers Pursue?

The Dodgers need help, that’s for sure. They have Kemp and Ethier as hitters but past that, no one really scares any opposing teams.

Matt Kemp & Rihanna Rumored To Be Back Together, Fans Panic

As the story goes, Matt Kemp‘s 2010 was ruined because he was distracted due to his relationship with pop star Rihanna.

Sands struggled in his first appearance with the Dodgers, hovering near the .200 mark in early June  before getting sent back to Triple A.
